The Tata Sons-Singapore Airlines JV full service carrier, Vistara, has established an "Aviation Security Training Institute (ASTI)" which has been approved by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). The institute was inaugurated Monday BCAS acting chief B B Dash, and ministry of civil aviation joint secretary G Asok Kumar in the presence of MVistara CEO Phee Teik Yeoh.
Vistara has been authorized by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to conduct aviation security training for its security staff, cockpit and cabin crew or personnel of all stakeholders covering security areas at airports. This institute is also authorised and equipped to provide training to other airlines for the security requirements as per regulatory guidelines.
Before ASTI was formed, Vistara used to send its security staff and air crew members to the BCAS regional offices at Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and Hyderabad for aviation security training. Now, these training sessions will be conducted in-house at Vistara's Gurgaon headquarters enabling the airline to provide quality training to its personnel consistently at one place and save costs as well.
